The Next Man

Intro
Get down true player
Playing hard and fast
Ladies getting tired of being treated like trash
If you’re wondering why a sister got to be such a beeyatch
If you don’t know
This is how it goes…………

First Verse
I thought that I had found
In you everything I ever
wanted in a man
And you meant everything to me

I let myself get comfortable
Laid back and closed my eyes
And with my heart
I trusted you implicitly

When you spoke, I listened
What you needed, I supplied
If you asked of me, I gave you
Whenever you hurt, I cried

(Subhook)
Now I’m scarred for life
And I will never trust again
When I finally get over you
I feel sorry for the next man

(Hook)
The next man won’t get my heart
The next man won’t stand a chance
Even if that man is better
because of you it will be harder
For the next man

Second Verse
I can’t believe I gave myself
To you so completely
When did I become that person so
Emotionally needy

I heard about it happening
To people on TV
It never crossed my mind
That one day it could be me

This is not a situation comedy
This is real life
My problem won’t be solved in 30 minutes
Don’t touch the dial

(Subhook)
Now I’m scarred for life
And I will never trust again
When I finally get over you
I feel sorry for the next man

(Hook)
The next man won’t get my heart
The next man won’t stand a chance
Even if that man is better
because of you it will be harder
For the next man

Change
Remember in life you travel all your roads again
The next time you fall in love; it’s your turn to give in
I hope whoever she’s with now; he’s treating her right
If not I feel sorry for you ‘cause if she’s scarred for liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife

You are the next man!

(Hook)
The next man won’t get my heart
The next man won’t stand a chance
Even if that man is better
because of you it will be harder
For the next man

(Repeat Hook)

Outtro
Get down true player
Playing hard and fast
Ladies getting tired of being treated like trash
If you’re wondering why a sister got to be such a beeyatch
If you don’t know
Now you know
